Newbie with 3 sons and desparate for a girl but sadly will probably never get that chance :(

Hi All,
I'm new to this forum posting but couldn't help myself and had to look to dosome research! I have 3 amazing boys who I adore and love to death but unfortuantely can't shake the disappointment I feel not having a girl. My DH won't have any more kids, the 3rd was a stretch for him. I am about to call a counsellor to discuss my feeling but to be honest I don't want to "get over it", I want a little girl!
Would ideally like to do gender selection but it is illegal here in Australia so woud have to go O/S and obviously all that costs money.
Hopfully I can find some info and or support on here, thanks for reading.

Welcome!

Welcome! Don't give up your dream - there's every chance you'll get your girl :o

Hi welcome :)

welcome and congrats on your perfect perfect boys, hope the info here can help you make some decisions or just feel ready to move on xx

i totally understand you im begging hubby to try for a girl in jan..... have 2 boys

You have a good chance to get your girl with natural swaying if your hubby will agree so stay positive :) Good luck!

Welcome. You will find many girls on here are travelling from Australia overseas for gender selection. It's not always easy though. I am about to go over to America for my second time in 4 months.

Welcome. I'm a mum to three boys too. Your hubby may come round. Mine was pretty sure he wanted a vasectomy after DS3 but has gotten clucky again.

Welcome and totally understand, so not fair PGD not available her in Australia we are so backwards sometimes the science is there why not use it??? Darn Australian Govt!!

It may happen...you never know what fate has in store for you! Welcome!

Hope it all works out. The more people sway girl the more hope I have that it is possible. Welcome.

Hello and welcome! You are not alone :)

Ditto my DP also thaunted me with the snip snip when I was pregnant with #3. But since then he has opened up and allowed me to consider PGD which has turned in to at home gender swaying and has even said that if this doesn't get our girl then we can always try again (WTF) we went from ONLY 3 to maybe 5 so there is always hope to turn DH/DP.

Threeboysblessed I too considered counseling when I had gender depression it made me feel like there was no hope and made me forget how blessed I was to have my healthy boys. I had a new born baby who was (and still is) so beautiful in everyway and should have enjoyed every second of being pregnant and having him in my arms but gender depression took over all my thoughts. When my dear friend was having a girl it took me months and many tries (having break downs in retail shops) to finally get the courage up to buy anything pink. Since then I have managed it by myself love my #3 boy more than anything and couldn't imagine my life with out him and it wasn't just because DP has agreed to more kids because he has only changed his mind a year ago. There is a day where you will feel better about it all and not have to 'get over it' as such you will still have those thoughts and feelings (I still do) but they won't consume your every moment and there is always hope. I just hope I can be as stronge again if #4's sway doesn't work and is another boy :)
